LaTeX examples — Commenting

The changes pack­age, distributed with TeX Live, al­lows the user to man­u­ally markup changes of text, such as ad­di­tions, dele­tions, or re­place­ments. Changed text is shown in a dif­fer­ent colour; deleted text is crossed out. The pack­age al­lows def­i­ni­tion of ad­di­tional au­thors and their as­so­ci­ated colour. It also al­lows you to de­fine a markup for au­thors or an­no­ta­tions. (Here's another customised example using avatars for the author annotations.)

Note: TrackChanges is not part of TeX Live, and hasn't been updated in a while. Instead, changes.sty, a package for the same purpose, is available in TeX Live and more recent. You can find the example template here. TrackChanges is a package for collaboratively editing LaTeX documents which allows multiple editors to make changes & add annotations to a document. Here we present a short example of it's use, which you can use as a template to get started.
